City Council Agenda
April 1, 2014
Page 3 of 11
to have an oversight board comprised of seven members seated prior to May
1, 2012. It also allows the Mayor of the successor agency to appoint two of
the seven oversight board members (i.e., one member representing the City
who formed the Redevelopment Agency-City Manager and one member
representing the employees of the Agency-Assistant to the City Manager /
Economic Development Manager).
With the termination of the City Manager’s contract, staff recommends
appointing Parks and Recreation Director, Catherine Burroughs to fill the
vacancy. While the City currently has an Interim City Manager, Mr. Donald
Penman, his time is limited both in the number of hours he can work at the City
of Temple City and the time he will serve as Interim City Manager.

Catherine Burroughs to serve as the City’s
representative on the Oversight Board of the
Former Temple City Community
Redevelopment Agency.

UNIT CONDOMINIUM PROJECT AT 5535 SANTA ANITA AVENUE

agreements and improvement securities for road and sanitary sewer
improvements, and approve the final map for the project.
Recommendation:
1) Review the findings of the County of Los Angeles Department of Public
Works as enumerated in the attached letter;
2) Receive the Subdivision Improvement Agreement;
3) Approve the final subdivision map for Tract No. 71205 and dedications
indicated on the map;

Improvement Agreement; and

AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT SERVICES WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT
City Council Agenda
April 1, 2014
Page 4 of 11
As a contract city, Temple City has traditionally entered into a Municipal Law
Enforcement Services Agreement with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department. The California Contract Cities Association and representatives of
various contract cities have been working on the preparation of the new
Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement, which would provide for a
five-year renewal through June 30, 2019. A uniform agreement is used by the
County and all of the contracting cities for these services.
Renewal of the Municipal Law Enforcement Services Agreement will ensue
that the services provided by the Sheriff’s Department will continue
uninterrupted.
Recommendation: Approve the renewal of the Municipal Law
Enforcement Services Agreement with the
County of Los Angeles; and authorize the Mayor
to execute the agreement.
H. APPROVAL OF CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR
INSTALLATION OF ELECTRONIC CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
(ECMS), ECMS ANNUAL SOFTWARE SUPPORT AND DOCUMENT
SCANNING SERVICES; AND APPROVE PURCHASE OF A DESKTOP
SCANNER AND ELECTRONIC CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
City Council’s approval of the Consultant Services Agreement for an ECMS
will further the City Council’s goal of government transparency. Other benefits
of implementing an ECMS are: prevention of lost records, ability to manage
and locate documents quickly, make images centrally available, and safe
keeping of records in case of disaster. Document imaging will be implemented
in phases beginning with the City Clerk’s Office (i.e., City Council and City
Commission meeting minutes, resolutions and ordinances). Once these public
documents have been scanned and labeled, they will be made available to the
public on the City’s website. Scanning of other department documents will
commence as resources are available.
Recommendation:
1) Award Consultant Services Agreements to ECS Imaging, Inc. (ECS), to
install a Laserfiche electronic content management system (ECMS),
provide training, and provide annual service maintenance and support
services for ECMS;
2) Award Consultant Service Agreement to ECS to provide document
scanning services; and
3) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Consultant Services
Agreements for installation of ECMS, annual support, and scanning
City Council Agenda
April 1, 2014

services in an amount not to exceed $33,450 (i.e., $6,890 to install an
ECMS, provide training, and provide annual service maintenance and
support services for ECMS; and $26,560 for the document scanning
services).
I. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION 14-4983 ESTABLISHING THE TEMPLE CITY
GENERAL PLAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE (GPAC); ADOPTING GPAC
BYLAWS; AND APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS TO THE GPAC
The Temple City General Plan Update known as the “Temple City 2050 Mid-
Century Plan” is an opportunity to plan the future of Temple City and will set
the direction of the City for the next generation.
As part of the update process, staff is proposing to establish a GPAC
consisting of up to 13 residents to advise staff and our consultants on issues
raised during the process, to facilitate public participation, and to make a
recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council on an updated
General Plan, a Specific Plan for the intersection of Las Tunas Drive and
Rosemead Boulevard, and an updated Zoning Code.
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 14-4983 (Attachment “A”);
which establishes the Temple City General Plan
Advisory Committee (GPAC), adopts by-laws for
the GPAC, and appoints members to serve on
the GPAC.
J. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 14-4985 APPROVAL OF PAYMENT OF
BILLS

9. NEW BUSINESS
A. APPROVAL OF WATERCOLOR DESIGNS FOR ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD
TILE MURALS
Tile mural designs for Rosemead Boulevard directory monuments are fine art
representations illustrating five iconic scenes of life in Temple City. Entitled,
“Temple City Today,” this mural collection portrays the community’s
celebratory traditions and cultural values as experienced by families and
immigrant residents.
The final watercolor designs incorporate the Commission’s recommended
modifications to ensure each mural narrative is an accurate interpretation of
community life, and adheres to artistic best practices.
Presentation: Assistant to the City Manager / Economic
Development Manager

B. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 14-992

April 1, 2014
Page 7 of 11
massage businesses in accordance with SB 731 until a comprehensive
massage and “Day Spa” ordinance is adopted. The proposed ordinance
should also have little impact to the medical community. Since the beginning
of the year we have had only one business license application for a medical
office.
Presentation: Planning Manager
Recommendation:
1) Introduce Ordinance No. 14-992 for first reading by title only amending
the Temple City Zoning Code and the Downtown Specific Plan to require
a Conditional Use Permit for Medical Offices and similar uses;
2) Waive further reading of Ordinance No. 14-992; and
3) Schedule the second reading of the ordinance for April 15, 2014.
C. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS FOR THE HOUSING REHABILITATION
LOAN PROGRAM, AND ASBESTOS TESTING AND ABATEMENT
PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2013-14
The City Council is recommended to approve the increased allocations for the
Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Asbestos Testing and Abatement Programs
for FY 2013-14. Any CDBG funds not used during FY 2013-14 will go back into
the City’s unallocated CDBG fund balance and would be eligible for
reallocation back into the Housing Rehabilitation Loan and Asbestos Testing
and Abatement Programs for FY 2014-15.
Presentation: Associate Planner
Recommendation:
1) Hold a public hearing to consider proposed amendments to the City’s
CDBG-funded Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and Asbestos
Testing and Abatement Program for FY 2013-14; and
2) Consider appropriating CDBG funds programmed for next fiscal year (FY
2014-15) to the current fiscal year (FY 2013-14) programs: increasing the
Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program by $150,000 and increasing the
Asbestos Testing and Abatement Program by $50,000.
D. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 14-4984 CONFIRMING THE MAYOR’S
APPOINTMENTS OF CITY COUNCILMEMBERS AS DELEGATES AND
ALTERNATES TO OTHER AGENCIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
City Council Agenda
April 1, 2014
Page 8 of 11
Each year the City Council reorganizes, and with City Council input, the Mayor
reviews and selects representative delegates and alternates to other
governmental agencies and/or organizations.
Councilmembers serving as the delegate to these governmental agencies
provide recommendations regarding issues that may affect cities in the Los
Angeles County. Delegates to these governmental agencies and/or
organizations also have the official voting responsibilities.
Presentation: City Clerk
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 14-4984 confirming
Mayor’s appointments to City Council
committees, agencies and organizations
E. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 14-991 AN
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY ADOPTING THE
REORGANIZED CITY OF TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE AND ENACTING
A NEW CODE NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF CITY
OF TEMPLE CITY
With the recent increase of ordinance adoptions, it has become evident that
the current method of organizing the Municipal Code is antiquated, difficult and
cumbersome for staff to add new sections to related subjects within a
Chapter’s Article(s). Staff has already had to present ordinances to City
Council this past year to amend duplicate Section numbering.
The new proposal would allow for an expandable numbering system (e.g.,
Sterling’s standard x-y-z numbering system) which better accommodates
future expansion of the municipal code.
Presentation: City Clerk
Recommendation:
1) Introduce Ordinance No. 14-991 (Attachment “A”), adopting the
reorganized City of Temple City Municipal Code (Municipal Code) and
enacting a new numbering system for the Municipal Code;
2) Waive further reading of Ordinance No. 14-991; and
3) Schedule the second reading of Ordinance No. 14-991 for April 15, 2014.
